Bluetooth sucks for basically everything I've ever used it for.
-- The mice have always had poor response and so-so battery life.
-- File transfers are basically pointless unless the file is relatively small in size.
-- Pairing with devices for sync'ing data is nearly impossible - at least for me. I can't seem to get most devices to pair properly with my Mac, and when they do, they either refuse to sync, or The Missing Sync is required, which is BS, IMO.
When it comes to buying a mouse, I stick with the wired ones, with the exception of the Logitech MX1000 for my desktop. That is the greatest mouse ever made, IMO.
*cough* 2.5 months battery life w/ daily usage *cough* 1hr recharge li-ion battery *cough cough*
I would rather go with Logitech Bluetooth mouse then the Apple Mighty Mouse. I even replace my Apple mouse that come with the Mac Pro. I don't know why people like the Mighty Mouse so much. Yeah, it work great and battery life is only average, but I can never get use to the design. Apple tend to make mouse isn't that comfortable because they want to keep their nice design. I alway replace my Apple mouse with the Logitech one because it's more comfartable and the scroll button is a lot better. The one on the Apple is so small and make a small buzzing noise like a fly is stuck inside it every time I use it, which gross me out.
A "buzzing sound"? You've got to be kidding! I've never had any mouse, of any brand, that hasn't been completely silent.
I have purchased and used multiple brands of Bluetooth mice (Microsoft, Radtech/Bluetake, and now Apple), and the Mighty Mouse is the only one that doesn't have that annoying "sleep" delay after sitting in one spot for more than 15 seconds. But the tradeoff is battery life. I use NiMH rechargeables - have with all my mice, actually - so mouse battery life isn't a big factor to me. If I have to swap them every three weeks versus every four, oh gosh that takes me like 60 seconds I won't tolerate it!!!
The main downside to rechargeable batteries is the chances of getting a dud battery are fairly high - I'd guess about 5-10% based on my experience. I'm pretty sure this is why a fair number of people have bad opinions about rechargeables, since they unknowingly get a dud and end up thinking "oh those things drain too fast". But the 90-95% that are non-duds work extremely well and last a comparable time to alkaline batteries.
No I mean the small buzzling noise when you use the small scroll button on the Mighty Mouse, that felt like a fly. I'm not complaining about the noise. Just the weired effect of using it. Try scrolling really fast through a page and you kind of hear and felt it.
I would love my Mighty Mouse, expect for one thing, the scroll nipple on top has lost half its functionality. It can no longer scroll upwards (but it can scroll sideways and downwards still ).
Anyone know of a way to fix this?
There's a whole thread about it somewhere.
In short, turn the mouse upside down and scroll really hard. Some people say to use the screen cleaning cloth. I just use my fingers. You'll see the dirt roll out of there. Don't be afraid to press hard.
What kind of solid battery life are you getting from it? Between charges with constant use I mean.
